If $1000!=3^n \times m$ where $m$ is an integer not divisible by 3 . then $n=$

  • Correct answer
    A
    498
  • B
    298
  • C
    398
  • D
    98

Solution

Hint: $E_3(1000!)=\left[\frac{1000}{3}\right]+\left[\frac{1000}{3^2}\right]+\left[\frac{1000}{3^3}\right]+\left[\frac{1000}{3^4}\right]+\left[\frac{1000}{3^5}\right]+\left[\frac{1000}{3^6}\right]=498$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
